Divya A wins Prabha Dutt Fellowship

She has been selected from amongst
various applicants for her topic, which is to research the ‘lives of children of sex workers living in
Delhi’s infamous GB Road.’

Bride Barter came out of Divya’s experience reporting
on women’s issues in Haryana villages, work that was published in the Times of India. Punjab Advance the Punjab State
Government’s magazine asked to reprint the story so as to highlight the gender
issue it addresses as they battle the fact that ‘Punjab records one of the worst sex ratios in
the country’.

It appeared in
their October, 2013 issue.

Our congratulations
to Divya. We hope that her work will inspire more short stories that will
advocate the tremendously important causes she works on as a journalist.
